Looking to fansub Kitarou, have everything we need other than someone to translate. This is an experienced and skilled group, and we are intending for a high-quality release. If anyone is interested in translating this great show, please message me at tromouji@gmail.com (mention Kitarou in the title!)

I was hoping some group like [Anime-Kraze] would pick up the series. They are extremely well versed in Japanese Mythology. I was watching a similar show called Hundred Stories some time back and they had given a well detailed explanation of terms and their association. And this was Pre Wikipedia days

- Sakaiminato is a city located in the northern area of Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Located at the northern end of Yumigahama Peninsula, it faces the Sea of Japan, another sea Nakaumi and Sakai channel.

- As of 2003, the city has an estimated population of 36,910 and the density of 1,283.83 persons per kmē. The total area is 28.75 kmē.

- The seaport of Sakaiminato is one of the most famous fishery ports in Japan and is the major port of Tottori prefecture.

- Nearby Miho airbase is run by the Japan Defense Agency but is also availably for civilian internal flights, being generally referred to as 'Yonago Airport'.

* The Mizuki Shigeru Road.

Quote:

- One hundred fine bronze statues of various Yokais are placed alongside the road. Anyone can see and touch the statues.

- Each unit of the black granite base and the statue is highly appraised as a fine art.

- Yokais attract a number of visitors and keep the town active.

* Mizuki Shigeru Museum

Quote:

- At Mizuki Shigeru Museum,visitors can feel existence of Yokais through cubic molds,sound and lighting effects,and they can visualize Yokais through the motion picutres using three large screens.

- Profiles of Mizuki Shigeru and the rare collections which he collected and brought backto Japan from world wide are displayed at the Museum.

Quote:

- Having been interested in Yokai since his boyhood in Sakaiminato,he produced many pieces of work based on the motif of Yokais such as Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro.

Episode 9 was quite frightening, and very close to the original's atmosphere.
It's actually remenicient of the Laughing Salesman series in the 80s than the previous incarnations of Gegege no Kitarou.
I hope to see more stories like this.
(ep9's story is actually based on one of the horror stories in the original. It's been animated before in the past too)

Despite its radical change of character designs, this series is proving to be quite faithful to the feel of the original manga. I like how unlike some of the previous incarnations, we get to see the darker, more "youkai" Kitaro back. The direction of the series is great.

"There are those who can feel the presence of Youkais and those who refuse to believe they exist. Which one are you?"

Yeah, episode 9 was definitely good. Probably the best one I've seen in the new series so far. Had that eery feeling down my back through the entire episode! I didn't jump at any of the surprises though because I knew I wasn't going to see anything that looked horrifying.

Artwork's really dark and sound effects are creepy but the part where...

Spoiler:

The Ganbarinyuudo showed his face made me laugh. Same when the guy was admiring Rokuro Kubi when she suddenly pops her head in front of him.

I was partly cheering for the Youkai since the guy was such a bastard. What really caught me was the ending.

Spoiler:

His colleague Kinoshita was dead all along. He pushed him off a cliff because of some silly argument a year ago. Now his wandering spirit can finally rest.

Well, next episode looks like another average one.

Oh, and if I ever go to Japan I must visit this Kitaro museum after going to the Ghibli museum

You know I've always wanted to watch this series when I first saw it back in the mid 80's. I always found it interesting. Again never would have thought of another revival. And of course the fanart is kicking up for some 'Nekomusume'. MMMm...boy, nothing like cat-girl loli.

Hmmm, episode 12 was pretty good. Started out creepy with those phone calls because it reminded me of The Ring

Then it turns out to be a touching story of...

Spoiler:

A youkai trying to pass on the last words of a dead wife.

There was quite a few funny parts too...

Spoiler:

Kitarou and his dad trying to work out how to use a gramophone and Nekomusume going red when Nezumi asked if they were out on a date.

Cool to see how the Youkai Post actually worked. They've really modernised the show haven't they... With public telephones being abandoned because mobiles are the norm now and kids looking up Kitarou's contact details on the net!

Any news rumors on who is planning to sub the show . I watched the one off 60s episode and really liked it . I was looking forward to watch this show now I may have to watch raws which I cant understand only about 30% correctly/accurately due to poor Japanese

It's amusing that you asked that question only a few hours ago because I just moved this thread into the Fansubbed Forum. You know what that means! I am particularly eager to watch the show. Fortunately it is seeded so fast that it completely downloaded while I was still adding the torrent to AnimeSuki. It only took a couple of minutes. O.O
